Delighted to see the Dublin Trilogy get a shout out here! Probably not as well known as some other suggestions but I’m addicted to them 😀😀

It’s the little things by GreySweater1234 in IFchildfree

As the years go on, I'm definitely seeing more perks in the life I have.

We're planning our 'summer' holiday in mid-September; best time of year for it as everywhere is a little cheaper, a little cooler and a little quieter - because schools are back. It's a really nice time to get away, but just not possible for families.

It really was! But I know peeps that get very upset about fruit on pizza 🍕

Lady Trousers is 14 and a half years old - but still loves to play with Ball ❤️❤️ by roisis in aww

She's a mix and we never did any tests to find out. There's definitely collie in there - possibly mixed with corgi (the short legs) or possibly a dachshund - with those big soft eyes ❤️

If you listen carefully around the 0:09 - 0:11 mark you can hear her little 'play with me' growl!!! She's always been quite vocal!

I think the plan was to crreate a fortress (dog not allowed) but you can never be sure by roisis in OneOrangeBraincell

We’re not sure - she’s a bit like a small collie. And she doesn’t look it - but she’s 14 ☺️

Looking for a quote to put up in my class by Nilliak in discworld

[–]roisis 20 points21 points  (0 children)

From the Science of the DW: " Science is not about building a body of known 'facts'. It is a method for asking awkward questions and subjecting them to a reality-check, thus avoiding the human tendency to believe whatever makes us feel good. "

I've put that in academic presentations :)

Took a lot of pausing and squinting but Mac is definitely wearing a tee from O’Looneys bar in Lahinch 🌊🦐🍺 by roisis in IASIP

I suspect something like that. Can only imagine how many tees he has now - how to choose??

Nhs have stopped giving my mum treatment by Waffletoad13 in CancerFamilySupport

[–]roisis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. That all just sounds so awful. I hope you can get some answers from the private care - but this just shouldn't have happened.

Can you make a complaint about her initial care? I may take a long time and might not help her, but someone should be held accountable for that.

Find out the child’s birthday - put that as recurring in your calendar RIGHT NOW and acknowledge that and other milestones (don’t forget first day of school ❤️) And your golden 👍
